What kinds of excavation work do you offer?

We provide grading, trenching, drainage prep, driveway leveling, pad creation, and more—always custom to your site.

Can you level sloped or rocky ground?

Yes. We specialize in sloped terrain and use proper equipment to carefully grade or excavate rocky mountain soil.

Do I need permits for excavation?

Sometimes. We’ll assess your project and help with permitting if it’s required by local regulations or authorities.

What equipment do you use?

We match equipment to the job—using compact machines for tight areas and heavy-duty options for large-scale work.

Do you offer drainage and erosion control, too?

Absolutely. Our grading often includes swales, French drains, and slope correction to manage water and prevent erosion.

Grading & Excavating Services

Every great outdoor project starts with a stable foundation. At JR’s Landscaping, our grading and excavating services ensure your land is ready—whether you’re building a patio, installing a fence, or preparing for a structure. We work on slopes, rocky terrain, and uneven ground, bringing 30+ years of local excavation experience to every job. Need to move earth, carve out a level zone, or fix poor drainage? We handle it all, utilizing the right equipment and approach. Your land deserves more than a rough guess—it deserves a plan.

Grading in mountain communities means more than moving dirt. It means understanding water flow, soil types, and slope stability. Our team specializes in precision grading that prevents erosion, improves drainage, and supports long-term land health. We create proper runoff channels, contour the land for usability, and stabilize surfaces to prevent washouts. Whether you’re dealing with standing water, a backyard slope, or a building pad for future construction, we make sure your land is shaped right—and stays that way.

From tight-access residential yards to wide-open ranch properties, we’re equipped for jobs of every size. Our excavating services include trenching, backfilling, drainage systems, and other related services. We bring in the machines that match your job—not oversized, not underpowered. And because we’re local, we know how to operate safely and efficiently on steep grades and rugged terrain. You won’t have to explain the difference between city soil and mountain clay—we already know. That’s the JR’s difference.
